Gregg Cable House at Cades Cove - wintertime

These photographs are of the Gregg Cable homeplace at Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, taken last week.

I posted photos taken during the fall, you can view here.

Does not look quite as inviting as it did during the fall. Thoughts of living here, all isolated during a heavy snow does not sound good to me at all.

Cable Mill Area of Cades Cove

Random photographs taken in the Cable Mill Area of Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

This is the actual mill where they still ground the corn to make meal. You can purchase the meal right there. It is very hard to get a photograph without people in it, especially this time of year. That goes for all of these photos, I just had to wait at ready and snapped the instant it was clear of people.

This last photo is a close up (me? a close up?) of the holes in one of the out buildings in the Cable Mill area. It is the building where I took the photographs of the Copperheads earlier in the year. Click here and here for the 2 post of the Copperheads.

Not sure what happened to this post. They started out all centered. The more I learn about this new computer, the more I don't know. Hope this turns out ok, but we never know until it actually post.

I was standing in the same place for all 4 photographs, I just kept zooming in more. Wouldn't you love to live in a place like this. Other than the Copperheads, of course. This is where the Copperheads were that I posted photos of before.

Cable Mill area in Cades Cove

The Cable Mill area is the largest home place in Cades Cove. The corn meal is here, which I showed with the Copperheads photos, and am not showing with this post.I have always liked this barn, it is real hard to capture a photograph of it without people. (This area is the most crowded on the loop road in Cades Cove due to the restroom facilities, and there is quite a bit here to see.)
They still demonstrate the Sorghum mill here in the fall, but I have never been there when they were using it.

Just another structure in the area.

These are the last of the Labor Day trip to Cades Cove. I think this is a record for me. I have gone through all the photos, they are posted and filed away for later. Now I need to start going back to June's St Pete trip (going again in October) and the July 4th Perry's Water Lilies trip. I just decided to tackle Cades Cove immediately. Hope everybody has enjoyed this trip through this wonderful cove, which is a very small portion of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Maybe it will inspire a trip in this direction. Remember the Smokeys (as us locals call it) is the only national park with no entrance fee, and it is the most visited park.
